The mixture was stirred for 25 minutes at 4.degree. to 6.degree. C. and finely powdered potassium hydrogen carbonate (48.4 g) was added thereto. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2.5 hours at 4.degree. to 6.degree. C. and then poured into a cold mixture of ethyl acetate (1.2 l), 1N hydrochloric acid (484 ml) and water (500 ml) below 10.degree. C. under stirring. The organic layer was separated out and the aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (300 ml). The combined extracts were washed with cold water (800 ml) and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride (800 ml), dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated. The residue was triturated in methylene chloride (200 ml) to give 2 -carboxymethoxyimino-2-(5-amino-1,2,4-thiadiazol-3-yl)acetic methanesulfonic anhydride (syn isomer) (28.0 g), mp. 143.degree. to 146.degree.

Preparation 17
To a solution of 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (37.7 g) and boron trifluoride etherate (78.8 g) in acetonitrile (194 ml) was added 1-methylpyrid-4-thione at room temperature under stirring, which was continued for 43 hours at the same temperature. The reaction mixture was evaporated to dryness and the residue was dissolved in water (50 ml). An insoluble material was filtered off and the filtrate was poured into isopropyl alcohol (1 l) under stirring. The resulting precipitates were collected by filtration, washed with isopropyl alcohol and dried to give a crude object compound (52.0 g). The crude compound (2.0 g) was suspended in water (20 ml) and adjusted to pH 5.7 with an aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate. The aqueous solution was subjected to column chromatography on a non ionic adsorption resin Diaion HP-20 (50 ml). After the column was washed with water, the elution was carried out with 15% aqueous methanol. The eluate was concentrated to 50 ml to remove methanol and lyophilized to give 7 -amino-3-(1-methyl-4-pyridiniothiomethyl)-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (400 mg), mp. 145.degree. to 150.degree. C. (dec.).
